Chevy Chase Country Club (formerly known as Traditions at Chevy Chase Country Club) in Wheeling is one of Chicagoland's top public golf facilities. Thomas Bendelow designed the golf course in 1925. The classic layout remained largely the same until 2002 when a major renovation updated the course and made it more challenging. The layout now has deep pot bunkers lined with tall native fescue that border the generous, rolling greens and undulating fairways. Though it is more challenging than it was, the golf course still offers a player-friendly round. Four sets of tees also ensure that golfers can play to their skill level. The course finishes with its signature hole, a par 5 that features water both left and right of the landing area off the tee. Three massive bunkers and yet another pond all fiercely guard the green as well.

Nice trac

Played midweek and had a wonderful time. Course was in good shape for late fall and greens were in great condition. Pace of play was a bit slow, but not terrible. Thanks to Golf Now we got a good deal and we will definitely be back next season.

Greens Horrible - bunkers awful

Have played here a few times a year for years and generally the course has been in very good condition

Not now.

I would avoid playing here the rest of the year

The greens were awful!!!

The putting green was aerated but the ball rolled fine and with good speed

The course - a different matter

Not one put rolled true. As bad an aeration of greens as I have seen in a long time

Putts bounced and veered of target immediately.

I was only in one bunker but playing partners were in a few

There are just as many rocks in the bunkers as sand

Just a thought - if you are going to be open then maintain the course

If you are done maintaining the course then close!
